        pkgsrc/mail/postfix: Makefile distinfo

Log Message:
Update postfix to 2.8.11.

Changes from release announce:

  * OpenSSL related (all supported Postfix versions).

      o Some people have reported program crashes when the OpenSSL
        library was updated while Postfix was accessing the Postfix
        TLS session cache. To avoid this, the Postfix TLS session
        cache ID now includes the OpenSSL library version number.
        This cache ID is not shared via the network.

      o The OpenSSL workaround introduced with the previous stable
        and legacy releases did not compile with older gcc compilers.
        These compilers can't handle #ifdef inside a macro invocation
        (NOT: definition).

  * postscreen(8) related (Postfix 2.9, Postfix 2.8).

      o To avoid repeated warnings from postscreen(8) with "connect
        to private/dnsblog service: Connection refused" on FreeBSD,
        the dnsblog(8) daemon now uses the single_server program
        driver instead of the multi_server driver. This one-line
        code change has no performance impact for other systems,
        and eliminates a high-frequency accept() race on a shared
        socket that appears to cause trouble on FreeBSD. The same
        single_server program driver has proven itself for many
        years in smtpd(8).  Problem reported by Sahil Tandon.

  * Laptop-friendly support (all supported Postfix versions). A
    little-known secret is that Postfix has always had support to
    avoid unnecessary disk spin-up for MTIME updates, by doing
    s/fifo/unix/ in master.cf (this is currently not supported on
    Solaris systems). However, two minor fixes are needed to make
    this bullet-proof.

      o In laptop-friendly mode, the "postqueue -f" and "sendmail
        -q" commands did not wait until their requests had reached
        the pickup and qmgr servers before closing their UNIX-domain
        request sockets.

      o In laptop-friendly mode, the unused postkick command waited
        for more than a minute because the event_drain() function
        was comparing bitmasks incorrectly on systems with kqueue(2),
        epoll(2) or /dev/poll support.
